Relevant Research

This webpage includes online resources for historical and current research that may interest people interested in watershed shed.  Accessing journal articles from outside of the university often proves challenging for community members.  This compilation of webpages and search engines will make finding scholarly, peer-reviewed articles more accessible to everyone. The Quesnel River Research Centre publication series features articles written by folks working out of the QRRC and is also a good resource.
